The 6-foot-0 senior scored 24 points in a win this week against Oostburg and is close to becoming the fourth Ozaukee boys basketball player to hit the 1,000 career points mark. And he's within realistic reach of tying or passing Eric Hartnett as the program's all-time leading scorer. Hartnett finished his career several years ago with 1,047 points.

Coach Isaiah Ketterhagen's thoughts

"Owen is our senior leader this year. He is probably one of the quietest leaders you'll come across. Leads by example. He's one of the most even-keeled kids you'll come across, whether the highs are highs or the lows are lows, he's a middle-of-the-road kind of guy. He doesn't let too much affect him at all. Has one of the best skill sets I've seen here."

Owen's thoughts

"I'm definitely excited, it's definitely a great honor to almost reach the 1,000-point mark. Our season's been going well. We had a couple ups and downs at the beginning, and we're hoping to finish out the season strong. … I think I've had some good games, some not-so-good games, but overall I think the team's been playing well. Definitely, the last half of the season we've been playing good, and like I said, we hope to finish strong the last couple of weeks."
